Over time, what damages to the inside of my home can I anticipate caused by exposure to Muriatic Acid fumes? I am most curious about my painted walls, carpet, fabrics and especially electronics such as TV's and computers. |

There is no answer at this time. |

hmmm.I need a little more detail on the concentration.Is it still there?Has it been neutralized?Is the smell there?Until I get more detailed info, A short answer is the biggest problem will be stainless steel corrosion.I'm assuming everything has been wiped down.Some quick neutralizers would be banking soda of ammonia.For your peace of mind I feel that most damage would be short term and very little long term damage such as paint pealing. |

I believe the most damage from Muriatic Acid is inflicted on living things rather than non-living things. Fumes of muriatic acid tend to evaporate as soon as they fly (at least, in a warm environment like my location in Asia), so I doubt they cause any damage to house surfaces. I haven't found any source though to substantiate this, so I give only my personal experience with it. |

Thanks for the response. The problem I have is the acid was in my house for 7-10 days. It was used in a diluted form. The contractor worked 9.5 hours in my house trying to remove a seal from my brick floors. He applied the acid over the 9.5 hour period using an industrial scrubber and did not attempt to neutralize the acid until three days later. By the way, I called the company that make the seal to learn that is was acid resistant. I don't know the concentration but I know it was a large amount perhap 4-6 gallons of acid in total. Of course we ran the AC and Heater units during that 5-7 day period. The house got quite a bit of exposure as I have light fixtures, door knobs, and door hinges that are pitting and rusting in rooms that were two rooms away from the work area. I hope this gives you a better picture of my problem. Frankly, I have been unable to find anyone that has had a similar experience. |

You can bet if you had pitting and rusting in rooms that were two rooms away from the work area, that is not the only damage you have. Any electronics could have similar damage and this could easily cause early failure. |
